Re: H. 'Flamboyant'

This time I noticed that one scape was faciated and branched out at about
11 inches from the top.
This may not be uncommon but I have never seen it in my garden before. Any
other such experiences out there?

****Glen, I can't speak to hostas, but in Lilium, fasciated scapes occur
because of damage to the scape as it's emerging from the ground......many
times because of freezing temps. Often lilies have huge numbers of flowers
when they fasciate; I counted 52 flowers on Citronella one year. The next
year, the scape goes back to normal unless it's damaged at emergence again.
